I reckon if Bitcoin has any physical property, it would be the energy used to operate and protect the network. Not the hardware that operates the mining or nodal networks, but the energy the runs the miners and nodes. Now, consider El Salvador with their volcanic geothermal energy, definitely observable and physical. Same goes for stranded natural gas burn offs, solar output stored in a battery, etc. Energy fuels the proof of work that is integral to Bitcoin. So really, it's not much of a stretch to say Bitcoin does at least have physical attributes. One thing I know for sure, Bitcoin can certainly be converted into just about anything one would need in the physical world.

I'm curious how many cycles they're using in the PCR tests. Run them beyond 30 and false positives become more common. Makes it pretty easy to stack that game.

I'm strongly considering moving to the Hua Hin area later this year as a newly-retired, first-time visitor to the kingdom. What am I required to carry with me during those mostly sweat-drenched and sometimes rained-upon rides as far as passport ID is concerned? Do farangs carry a paper copy of their passport or even the actual passport in some sort of case, or is their some credit card sized ID format that suffices as legal ID? Am I misjudging the importance of carrying such identification in the first place?
